Background: this study examined the Chiropractic therpy's influences on range of motions and pains with patients who have neck pain. Methods: In an experimental study with a two-group(chronic neck pain vs acute neck pain) design, 16 participants were enrolled for 2 weeks, 4 times, from march to april, 2013, with 8 acute neck pain patients and 8 chronic neck pain patients in chiropractic threrapy. Results: after the chiropractic threrapy, range of motions improved and pains were reduced significantly in both acute and chronic neck pain patients(P<.05). Conclusion: the chiropractic threrapy was effective in improving range of motions and reducing pains in persons who have acute and chronic neck pain. Thus, the chiropractic threrapy could be a resource for continuing study and adaptations to enhance the quality of life and well-being of neck pain patients.

The aim of this study was to identify the effects of chiropractic treatment using Sacro Occipital Technique (SOT) on low back pain (LBP) and physical functions in patients with chronic LBP. Forty-five women with chronic LBP were randomly assigned to the Diversified Technique (DT), SOT or DT+SOT group and received chiropractic treatment two times a week for 8 weeks. LBP was measured using Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), and Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ) at baseline and after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment. Physical functions were evaluated using lumbar strength, flexibility, and body symmetries. After 4 and 8 weeks, VAS, ODI, and RMDQ were significantly decreased in all 3 groups (all p<.001). Lumbar strength, flexibility, and shoulder and pelvic balances were significantly improved in all 3 groups (all p<.05). In conclusion, our results suggest that SOT and DT both may be effective for reducing LBP and improving physical functions.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to investigate the effectiveness of McKenzie Exercise of cervical part Method : A case-controlled clinical trial was searched for the effect of McKenzie Exercise on the cervical part. From 2015 to June 2021, 8 studies were selected from the RISS database published in Korea. The selected studies included an experimental group with McKenzie Exercise and a control group with general physical therapy and stretching Results : McKenzie Exercise, ROM, muscle activion, pain, posture were improved. Conclusion : This study summarizes the results of applying McKenzie Exercise of cervical part. This study suggests for cervical function who wants to intervene in McKenzie Exercise of cervical part.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the change of hamstring muscle relaxation and craniosacral reciprocal movement by using S. O. T. (sacrooccipital technique) categoryⅠ block-intervention process. 26 subjects with heel tension were randomly divided into two groups (EXP=13 and CON=13). This study carried out the category I block-intervention process on the experimental group and the false block-intervention process on the control group. Then, this study measured the sit-and-reach and sacral reciprocal movement of subjects before and after the intervention. The result values before and after the intervention were analyzed through ANCOVA by using SPSS PC Program (Ver. 20.0). In both investigations, the degree of hamstring muscle relaxation and the change of sacral reciprocal movement, there were statistically significant differences between the experimental group and the control group as [F(1, 23)=7.73, p<0.5] and [F(1, 23)=7.07, p<.05] respectively. According to the results of this study, it is expected that S. O. T category I bllock-intervention technique will have positive effect on both hamstring muscle relaxation and craniosacral reciprocal movement.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the sacrooccipital category II blocking technique may improve abdominal muscle endurance and alleviate shoulder pain caused by pelvic tilting. Methods: A total of 50 subjects diagnosed with category II sacroiliac joint instability and lower back pain were randomly assigned to the control or treatment group. The sacrooccipital technique category II blocking procedure (2-min duration) was performed 3 times a week until the category II indicator of joint instability had subsided. The control subjects were subjected to a sham procedure of equal duration and frequency. We assessed abdominal muscle endurance using the partial curl-up test and shoulder pain using a visual analogue scale, before and immediately after the intervention and 2 weeks after the intervention. Results: On two-way analysis of variance with repeated measures on time factor, significant treatment and interaction effects on muscle endurance were found. A significant interaction effect, but not treatment effect, was found for shoulder pain. Post hoc test showed that the shoulder pain was reduced immediately after intervention (treated group) and 2weeks (control and treated group) after the intervention as compared to before the intervention. Conclusions: This study suggests that sacrooccipital category II blocking can be used to alleviate shoulder pain caused by pelvic instability. The mechanisms behind the long-term benefits may include an increase in abdominal muscle endurance.

Manual therapy has undergone parallel development throughout many parts of the world dating back to ancient times for at least 2,500 years. The earliest historical reference to the practice of manual therapy in Greece, dates back to 400 B.C. Over the centuries, manual medicines have fallen in and out of favor with the medical profession. To truly understand the principle, it is important to know that manual therapy was initially the mainstay of the three leading alternative health care systems, osteopathy, chiropractic, and most notably physical therapy. These were all founded in the latter part of the 19th century in response to the shortcomings in allopathic medicine. Although it has been around for a long time and has been used all over the world, there are a few reports on manual therapy treatment, and most papers provided a low level of evidence. Despite the controversies over manual therapy, its use appears to be increasing gradually. This article reviews the history of manual therapy from ancient times to the present including Korean history, discusses the current state of knowledge on manual therapy, and informs physicians who manage musculoskeletal pain.

It is true that medical fields have been grown a lot in all its aspects and they have given much efforts to suppress intractable disease including atopic dermatitis. However, instead of decreasing those diseases, it is not controllably increased in recent years. Especially atopic dermatitis is now an issue in medical and social community because of its serious direct or indirect damages. So that, this study gives few suggestions for utilizing manipulative therapies in CAM to minimize direct or indirect atopic damages and to provide diverse medical service methods which have yet not been used in aptopic dermatitis patients and their family.

The purpose of this research is to investigate the level of awareness and treatment condition of scoliosis, and provide the basic data to give awareness, prevention and maintenance of scoliosis, targeting the middle and high school students. From 11th, April 2011 to 27th April 2011, this researcher executed the survey targeting 765 students from the middle and high school by selecting two middle schools and two high schools, and bus terminals and apartment complexes which have the high population density and mobility in Chungnam Seosan city. The result of the research is like this. The level of awareness about scoliosis in the middle and high school appeared highly as 63%. The answer which shows not having the treatment after they are diagnosed with scoliosis appeared most highly as 43 people(51.2%), the answer which shows having the treatment and then quitting it appeared as 22 people (26.2%), and the answer which shows having the treatment after they are diagnosed with scoliosis appeared as 19 people (22.6%).
